A ticket rule to CREATE a ticket based on other criteria....

I've read through the FAQ for creating a child ticket from a parent ticket, but it seems very... bland.  Also, Having to make it send emails really cuts down on what I want it to do, and what filters.


For example:  I want it to read my custom value fields and say HEY this one is checked, (Email Login Only = 1 basically) and if that is true, and a ticket is there, then I want it to create a child ticket that titles "Email Login Setup"

If the checkbox is NOT marked (<>1 ) then it does NOT find the ticket thus it does NOTHING.  This works great for filtering out my parent ticket (is_parent = '1').  And I've got multiple rules set up to read the checkmarks individually.  Now that I have the SQL setup and the filters are working great, how do I tell the system to create a ticket when this parent ticket is made/saved.

Basically:  New Hire process has check boxes, if EMAIL checkbox is marked I want to create a child ticket that is titles CREATE EMAIL.  If the checkbox is NOT marked, i do not want this ticket created. 

 

Another approach, if I can't force ticket creation on certain areas, do I just make a ton of step 1 process child tickets, and have a rule that says "if the name = this child ticket, but the box is NOT marked on the parent ticket, set to unassigned and close immediately" ???  What is the best way to go about generating tickets based on info from the Parent ticket??  And to pass that information on???

Filter for one of my parent tickets is as follows:

 select HD_TICKET.ID AS TICKNUM,
HD_TICKET.TITLE as TITLE,
HD_TICKET.HD_IMPACT_ID,
HD_TICKET.HD_PRIORITY_ID,
HD_TICKET.MODIFIED,

FYI I have made a ticket rule that DOES create tickets, so it can be written to create the ticket of my choosing with the options I want, just need to figure out the trigger and I'm good.

I simply created 6 child tickets, and made a ticket rule that closes the tickets automatically if their appropriate checkbox was not marked.  This way the ticket list still exists as kind of a new user check list, but only creates/assigns the tickets that are necessary.  Although it would be ideal to only create the proper tickets in the first place it seems that this new way will be much simpler and still allow me to work within the KACE process itself.

  • This is brilliant. I was just wondering the same thing. I like your approach. Would you be up for sharing your ticket rule that closes the 6 tickets if the conditions aren't met? - michaellynton 11 years ago
    • of course! Toss me an email at kurtis.cochrane@dorfman-pacific.com - Wildwolfay 11 years ago
